Work on the construction of the first nuclear power plant Akkuyu in
Turkey will begin in early 2014, Director General of Akkuyu NGS A.S.
Alexander Superfin said in an interview with the Vatan newspaper. He
said in May 2013 the preparation of a report on the project's impact
on the environment will be completed.
"It is expected that the production of electricity at Akkuyu NPP will
begin from 2020. In the first stage the NPP will produce electricity
with its capacity of 4,800 MW," Superfin said.
Turkey's share in the construction of the NPP will be $7.5 billion of
the total cost at $20 billion, he said. More than one billion dollars
have been already invested in the project, and in the coming months,
investments will be increased up to $2.4 billion.
The Akkuyu nuclear power plant will be built on the Russian project
which includes the construction of four power units with VVER-1200
reactors. The agreement on the construction of the station was signed
in May 2010.
The capacity of each unit will reach 1200 MW, while the total capacity
is 4,800 MW. It is assumed that the units will be commissioned in
sequence at intervals of one year.
